Near-Drowning in East Lake Prompts Pool Safety Campaign

7/22/2013

PicturePool Fences, covers and nets save lives in Tampa FL
A 3-year-old girl nearly lost her life in an East Lake community pool earlier
this month. Now, local organizations are teaming up with the hope of preventing future pool accidents in East Lake. 
Representatives from East Lake Fire Rescue, the Safe Kids Coalition and
Florida Safe Pools will be visiting about 50 homes in the Brooker Creek Villas
subdivision on Tuesday, July 23 to spread awareness about pool safety.
They'll be going door-to-door to let residents know how to keep kids safe.
"We're trying to get face-to-face with everybody there," said East Lake Fire Rescue Chief Tom Jamison.
The toddler, who is from New York, was visiting her grandparents with her family. They were at the community pool on July 14 when the little girl was found under water. Jamison says it happened very quickly.
"They looked one minute and she was fine. They looked the next minute and she was at the bottom of the pool," he said.

It's estimated she was under water for about 30 seconds. The toddler's father performed CPR on his daughter and she was alert when East Lake firefighters arrived. However, she was flown to All Children's Hospital because of complications. She has since made a full recovery and is back at her home in New York.

Tampa Pool Fence offers alternative to Pool Safety fence- A Pool Cover

10/15/2012

Here is a recent Pool Safety Cover installed in Clearwater florida

Picture
A  pool safety cover in Tampa offers numerous benefits for swimming pool owners, but the benefit that trumps them all is that they
prevent drowning. 
As a Swimming Pool safety product, the Pool cover acts as a horizontal Pool fence, completely sealing off the pool and preventing accidental access to the pool water by children, pets, and uninvited visitors.
And while there's no substitute for proper supervision, your swimming pool can be  protected even when you're not around. It's an excellent pool safety barrier that is a great alternative to a Pool Safety Fence, Pool Safety gate and or a Swimming Pool Safety Net. 


Other benefits of a Pool Cover in Tampa include:

The Pool Safety cover keeps out dirt and debris from the pool, reducing cleaning  and maintenance costs and wear on pool filtration systems. This means  you can spend more  time enjoying your pool and less time working on it. 

A pool cover acts as a vapor barrier to keep your Pool water in your pool less time testing your water and less chemicals.

Pool Guard of Tampa offers year round Pool Fence, Pool cover and Pool Net installation. We provide free estimates and next day installation throughout Tampa Bay. Cities such as but not limited to: Lutz - Land O Lakes - Clearwater- Odessa - Largo - Westchase - Seminole - Dunedin - Brandon - Lithia - Wesley Chapel - Palm Harbor and Oldsmar.

If you live in a home with an unprotected pool and have kids under 5 you are CRAZY!

A recent research paper written by our State Health Department titled:

Correlation of Pool Drowning Deaths

With Number of Residential Swimming

Pools by County in Florida, 2005-2007

Michael Lo, Kristal Hall, Lisa VanderWerf-Hourigan,

Bob Vincent, and Robert Pryor

has quite a bit of information to put toddler drowning deaths into perspective; especially for Hillsborough County FL;

Tampa has a large number of residential pools which is correlated with an increased incidence of toddler pool drowning; Making toddler drowning deaths somewhat predictable.

We know every year we will loose children.

  Some Quotes from the paper:

Statistical modeling showed that for every 10,000 residential pools that a

County has, 2.4 additional pool drowning deaths can be expected to occur over

Three years. This relationship was therefore determined to be linearly correlated.

Greater public health impact may be achieved by focusing drowning prevention

Efforts, especially among young children, in counties with more residential pools;

And thus a greater risk of pool drowning

Of the 120 young children ages one to four who drowned in confirmed, single-family

Residential swimming pools, 82 (68.3%) drowned in a pool at their own

Home; nine (7.5%) drowned in a pool at a grandparent, uncle, or other relative’s

Home; five (4.2%) drowned in a pool at a friend’s home; five (4.2%) drowned in a

Pool at a neighbor’s home; and one (0.8%) each drowned in a pool at a babysitter’s

Home, a summer home, or a vacation rental house. Sixteen (13.3%) drowned in a

Pool at a home of another or an unspecified individual.
